Just had a message urging me to apply for my winter fuel payment. Said reply today via the link or I’ll miss out. Please don’t anyone fall for it.

I got it too, I was certain it was a scam. As it asked for my credit and debit card details to pay the grant in to.!!
I reported it to the DWP , they said they had had a lot of calls regarding this scam.

There’s a longer thread on this with 18 comments under Scams and Fraud.

It seems the scams started as soon as the announcement about WFA was made.
